There's Something About Mary (1998) movie picture

The writers of Kingpin and Dumb and Dumber have ventured into the genre of romantic comedy. Ted (Ben Stiller) , a classic high-school loser, somehow manages to date Mary (Cameron Diaz), the girl of everyone's affection. All this ends, however, after an unfortunate incident involving a zipper. Thirteen years later, Ted still longs for Mary, so he hires a seedy private investigator (Matt Dillon) to find her. When the shady detective falls in love with Mary as well, the two suitors engage in an outrageous no-holds-barred battle for her affections. Most memorable are the laugh-out-loud, "I can't believe I just saw that on film" sight gags that aren't for the easily offended.
